The 89 Universities
that are members of the Association of Universities and Colleges of
Canada are located across the country, with institutions in every
Canadian province. Taken together, they offer a wide range of courses.

In addition to universities, Canada's postsecondary
system includes 175 community colleges, which respond to the training
needs of business, industry and the public service, as well as the
educational needs of vocationally oriented secondary school graduates.
These colleges, also known as institutes of technology, university
colleges or CEGEPS, historically offered diplomas and certificates
rather than degrees. Today, some offer degrees themselves, and a number
offer university transfer programs or provide programs jointly with
neighboring universities.

A Range of Choices

Canadian
universities provide a full spectrum of undergraduate and graduate
degree programs, with faculty undertaking research of national and
international importance.

Universities in Canada range from large urban,
multi-campus and research-intensive universities, offering a wide range
of undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, to small liberal
arts colleges with a focus on undergraduate education. Others provide
specialized professional programs in fields such as business,
engineering, art and design or agriculture.

You will find that Canada is nothing if not diverse!
University colleges represent a new model for postsecondary education,
combining practical vocational programs with more theoretical offerings.
Since Canada is a bilingual country, our universities demonstrate this
by offering instruction in English, French, or even both!

Three universities are devoted entirely to distance
education - a field in which Canada, a country of vast spaces and
outstanding achievements in telecommunications, is a world leader. In
fact, most universities in Canada offer a wide selection of courses
through distance education, with formats ranging from traditional print
or audiotape correspondence courses, to teleconference or computer
conferences. Support systems for students who study at a distance are
common, including counseling and study skills seminars, tutorial
assistance by phone, fax or computer, and direct online links to campus
libraries.

A Reputation for Excellence

Canadian universities have earned an international
reputation for excellence. Their faculty have recognized research and
teaching strengths in areas such as computer sciences, business
(including MBA programs), health sciences, law, ocean studies, natural
resources and agriculture.

In addition to their teaching, universities play a vital
role in their local communities, offering concerts and plays, day care
centres, sports and fitness facilities, lectures, museums, on-campus
radio stations and art galleries open to all. Research is central to the
mission of Canadian universities. In fact, 25% of Canada's research
capacity is found in our universities - a far higher proportion than
most others countries. Universities in Canada employ about one-third of
the country's PhDs, who spearhead the national research effort. Students
at Canadian universities are frequently involved in research projects,
often during their early undergraduate years. Professors see research as
an integral component to their classroom teaching. Canadian university
research has yielded a wealth of innovations as important as insulin,
Pablum, the artificial pacemaker, improved strains of wheat, and the
identification of the genetic causes of diseases such as cystic
fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and Lou Gehrig's disease. Today, Canadian
researchers are world leaders in areas such as helping people cope with
pain and stress, improving human memory, pulp and paper chemistry,
dealing with the impact of technology in the workplace, and finding new
treatments for cancer, osteoporosis and arthritis.

The System in Profile

Universities in Canada operate under provincial
government charters. There is no formal system of university-wide
institutional accreditation. Instead, membership of AUCC, in conjunction
with the university's provincial government charter, is seen as serving
in lieu of institutional accreditation, both in Canada and abroad. In
addition, graduate programs and professional schools such as law,
nursing, medicine and engineering have rigorous discipline-specific
accreditation procedures. Computer science is also developing its own
accreditation system.

There are currently 500, 000 full-time undergraduates at
Canadian universities, 200, 000 part-time undergraduates, 75, 000
full-time and 40, 000 part-time graduate students. Student profiles have
changed dramatically over the past decade, with more older students,
more women and a greater multicultural mix. The social sciences remain
by far the largest field of study in Canada, followed by education and
the humanities. Biochemistry and computer science have been among the
fastest growing disciplines at the bachelor's level in the last five
years, closely followed by nursing, sociology and psychology. A wide
range of student services is offered by most universities, including
special tutoring in writing and math skills, help in finding off-campus
housing, academic, career or personal counseling, and health services.

Many universities provide support to students with
special needs, including single parents, women, those with physical,
sensory or learning disabilities, aboriginal students, part-time
students, gays and lesbians, mature students, and students of diverse
ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Special programs are also often
available to help first-year students improve their chances for success
at university. Some offer for-credit courses aimed at integrating
students to university life and studies. Many universities provide such
assistance on an on-going basis throughout the academic year, with
workshops in areas such as essay and exam writing, study and research
skills.

A Lasting Reward

A university education translates into new skills,
better job prospects and higher salaries. University graduates also have
a better chance at promotion throughout their career, better health and
benefit packages, as well as better pension plans. Clearly, the rewards
of a university education last a lifetime.
